A long time ago, in a place far far away (California, 1908) one of our Tek Scouts came across this beauty in a partially destroyed laboratory within dangerous distance of a large comet impact zone. It's original designer named it the "Westar - 34". According to documentation found at the lab, it was one of two like it in the world, meant for a gunslinger that was out of this world. Well when the engineers and artisans at the Tek Armory got a hold of it, we decided to make it look more like the work of art it is. Primarily constructed of brass, steel and ebony wood grips, we thought some silver filigree would also fit nicely with the design.__________________________

Original is a Star Wars toy replica of Jango Fett's pistols. It makes blaster noises but has no lighting elements. Originally white and orange, I primed it black, then used AMACO Rub N Buff to make the metallic finishes, The filigree is made from cheap metal jewelry pieces.

I have one more that I'm still working on, when the second is finished they will be paired and either made into a dueling set, or I'll make a dual holster belt for them.

Thanks.The handles actually have metal filigree on them that came from a mall store that sells 1 dollar necklaces and earrings. I glued them on before priming, then used rub-n-buff to make them silver, followed by black paint with a fine brush to touch up around them.

I definitely dig the physical modifications you made to yours. I always want to do those kind of mods, but I always end up just using filigree and focusing on the paint job. I am always worried that if I cut into the original too much, I'll ruin it.

Oh yeah, it's also important that you also buy AMACO All Purpose Sealer. Which is a brush on sealant that goes on milky and dries clear. Spray clearcoats dissolve the wax base of the Rub N Buff and can degrade the finish (unless you want that rough weathered look)

Yeah when I happened upon some prop makers website and saw this pistol, I thought he was making it for steampunk, then as I read the descriptions and saw they were from Star Wars I was very surprised. (I never paid much attention to Jango's weapons in the prequels) I immediately thought I should steampunk them.
